[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I empathize. I have two kids who sound just like your daughter - great students but zero interest in extracurriculars. To be honest, I can understand why. So many clubs, etc. are complete BS and they just prefer to come home, read, write, do their own thing. I think it's such a shame that these days, kids are supposed to come up with some kind of circus act or sideshow to prove they're "well-rounded". Whatever happened to having a creative and rich inner life without the need to constantly participate in clubs and teams? Where are the colleges that appreciate the smart introvert? I think Europe has it right in that they don't base university admission on how many activities a student is involved in, but rather on what kind of grades and test scores the student achieves. [/quote] It's not just these days. It was going on in the early 90s in this area too. [/quote]
